Hickory Pit Bar Barbecue, 12039 East Colfax Avenue, Aurora, Colorado (undated photo courtesy of the Shorty Hanger collection and scanned by Todd Matuszewicz)
It's unclear if this sign was ever made. In addition to the Colfax and Peoria restaurant, there were several other Denver-area locations over the years of a restaurant called "Hickory Pit" or "Hickory Pit Bar-B-Que."
Ads from 1954 proclaimed the Aurora restaurant to be "under new management." A 1959 newspaper article mentions the grand opening of Hickory Pit located at 7950 Federal Blvd in Westminster. The Westminster location advertised another grand opening in 1960. An ad from 1961 lists Hickory Pit Bar-B-Que at 28th and Downing and a 1965 ad lists it at 2861 Colorado Blvd.
